ON THE JOURNEY WITH

DR. MICHAEL GOMEZ, '91 When Mr. Comey asked me to share a reflection on the past year at Prep, I realized the story of this year really begins in March of 2020, when the day-to-day experience of life at Grand & Warren was upended seemingly overnight. I thought one way to tell that story would be to share some excerpts from talks, letters, and videos I have shared with various groups within the Prep community. Some you might have heard or read before, and others might be new to you. I know this doesn't cover everything that happened since March 13, 2020, but I hope it paints a picture of this time at Prep...at least from my point of view. Thanks to my Prep brothers and sisters for walking this road with me. Faculty and Staff Meeting March 13, 2 0 2 0

"Good morning. I love you." That is the first thing I said to you at the start of our year together. It's exciting to say that and to start a year filled with joy and hope and new beginnings. But to be honest, it's more important to say that when we have challenges, anxieties, and the unknown staring at us...with no exact playbook in our toolkit. But what we do have in the toolkit is the belief that our number one responsibility is to love our students, and we can't do that effectively unless we love each other. So at this moment in time, how do we love and care for our students and you and your family? We are going to close school for a minimum of two weeks. So here's what that looks like and here's what we will do now. Video to Prep Students and Families April 8, 2 0 2 0

But right now epicenter is a scary word. The challenge is new and frightening at times, but it's also familiar. Within the past 20 years, we found ourselves at the epicenter on 9/11 and again during Superstorm Sandy. Now, as then, we will find the light. We're going to rely on our faith and pray and pray, but we also know we have to rely on each other and work and work. And while the days feel dark at times, we know that love, and its powerful light, is the true "epicenter." I know that the action rises and falls between the global struggle to meet this challenge and the quiet moments at home with our families and alone with our thoughts. The resolution is not yet clear, but there will be one, and there will be a next chapter. And I know that Prep will someday look back at this chapter in its history, and we will be proud of the way we wrote it, came through it together, turned the page, and with our metaphoric pen in hand, we said, what's next? Incoming Freshman Parent Meeting May 7, 2 0 2 0

When I look ahead to the 2020-21 academic year, I am focused on three questions: How do we keep our students and faculty and staff safe from the virus? How do we best educate and form the minds, hearts, and souls of our young men under several possible scenarios? How do we continue to be fiscally responsible? Letter to the Prep Community June 12, 2 0 2 0

As a Prep alumnus, my values were shaped right here at 144, and I know so many of us always look to Prep as the source of "the banners that guide us." One of the most important "banners" is that all who enter the doors of Grand and Warren are called to be men and women for and with others. Racism is diametrically opposed to that call that originated with Rev. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. That is true whatever form racism may take.

e are called to see our home with new eyes clear eyes, courageous eyes, careful eyes. Your education and rmation at Saint Peter's Prep is at a time when people are suffering from division, in a nation grasping for sace, grasping for ways to heal, grasping for ways to move forward, grasping for togetherness and unity...This year II have many challenges. One of them is being in a familiar place where we have been successful, but we are now ked to do a lot of unfamiliar things in order to be successful. We are in a familiar place, but we can't do all our miliar things. If we act the same in this familiar place, we w ill fail. We have to learn things, but we have to unlearn ings as well. We have to learn how to stop doing some things we like to do. culty and Staff Meeting >vember 11, 2 0 2 0

t me begin by saying that I recognize that our tension grows as COVID numbers in NJ and our country rise. I know are are a lot of other things that are giving us tension: these masks, physical distance, a student seeing his teacher person once a week, the habit now of checking your phone to see what the daily COVID numbers are...being nflicted about how to spend Thanksgiving, having dialogue about whether or not students or teachers or staff ould come in person to our school at all, worrying about powering up heat lamps for our outdoor tent, and too any zoom meetings. And some will call this the new normal in schools. I refuse to do that because that maybe plies that all these things are here to stay. I'd rather call it today's normal. But I don't think any of this overrides mmitment and love and faith. Please know how grateful I am that you have shared that everyday mmitment and love and faith. I am so so grateful. I told you on my first day that I will always be in awe of the ;ulty and staff of Saint Peter's Prep. That doesn't change. ieo to Prep Students nuary 6, 2021

now there is a wide range of emotions concerning what occurred at the Capitol todayincluding shock, sadness, ir, and anger. These are opposite the feelings you likely experienced just a few days agoon January 1stas we ?re turning the page on 2020. This violent assault on the Capitol disrupted the important work of our government, d it put elected men and women, civil servants, and others in danger. I keep thinking about the picture I saw online the evacuated Senate Chamber today displayed prominently is the phrase e pluribus unum. W hat happened earlier lay is the opposite of that phrase. culty and Staff Meeting arch 1 ,2 0 2 1

vid has done too much damage for us to just show up in September and say we are back to normal. We need a ferent type of orientation for next year. One way to think about that is possibly inviting students to return for the d of this year. It would be great to finish strong w ith our seniors. It would be awesome. But we could also be nking about using this return time as momentum leading to September. It )uld lay the foundation for the full return next fall. If we return this school ar, it would be like the beginning of a 5-month orientation to get us ready September. tter to Prep Parents ay 1 1 ,2 0 2 1

ON THE VIEW OF

MR. JAMES DEANGELO/85

Dear M em bers of the Class of 2 0 2 1 , This yearbook gives all of us the o p p o rtu n ity to reflect on the fo u r years you spent at Prep, and how much g ro w th and developm ent you experienced during your tim e at Grand and W arren. Both inside and outside of the classroom , you w e re co n tin u a lly challenged to g ro w and learn and becom e the men th a t God created you to be. I hope th a t the Profile o f the Graduate and G rad uation the Grad-at-Grad-is not ju st a collection of w ords, but a m easure of w h o you are. Only you can answ er h o w you have internalized and made your ow n the m ission of Prep and of Jesuit education. Challenged as it w as by the COVID-19 pandem ic, I am nonetheless co n fid e n t th a t your tim e as a Prep student still afforded you o p p o rtu n itie s to becom e in telle ctua lly com petent, open to grow th, religious, loving and c o m m itte d to doing justice. H o w have you lived them o u t over the past four years? H ow have you acted and reacted w h e n faced w ith challenge, o pp ortun ity, failure and even success? W hen Fr. Greg Boyle, S.J., of H om eboy Industries, one o f our sum m er im m ersion trip sites in Los Angeles, delivered the A rrupe keynote address several years ago, he said som ething th a t resonated very strongly w ith so m any o f us: th a t Prep is not a place you go to, but rather a place you com e from , form ed by the experiences you had during the tim e th a t you w e re a student here. M y sincere hope fo r each one of you, men of the Class of 2 0 2 1 , is th a t every person you m eet in the future can com e aw ay from th e ir experience w ith you and kn o w th a t you not only have a Prep diplom a, but a Prep education. Thank you fo r these past fo u r years. The gifts you have given, w e shall never forget. W ishing you all God's blessings, Jim DeAngelo, '8 5

W e w o u ld all agree th a t since the M arch o f 2 0 2 0 our w o rld is different. This sudden shift in our lives has caused a lot of mixed em otion s and w e co m m o n ly feel a sense of loss fo r the w ay things w ere. W e long for the days w h en th in g s w e re "norm al" and w e could be to g e th e r at our chosen hom e, Saint Peter's Prep. From an outsider's perspective. Prep is a school. W e teach math, science, Italian, sculpture, and D ystopian Literature. W e have accom plished sports program s and talen ted artists. W e d o n 't appear to be any d iffe re n t than the school d ow n the block, unless you look deeper inside the w alls and at the people. Prep is a very special place and I th in k th a t w e each love it for our ow n reasons. M aybe w e've m et those lifelong friends w h o challenge us to be the best people w e can be. M aybe you to o k a class th a t you d id n 't th in k you w o u ld enjoy but w o u n d up m aking a friend or fin d in g a new passion. Perhaps Prep encouraged you to try a new sport or jo ine d a club to expand your horizons. Maybe a retreat opened your eyes and helped you appreciate w h o you are. You can feel h o w d iffe re n t Prep is w h e n you w a lk the halls and get to say hello to your friend w ith a fist bum p or an elb o w tap. You can see it in the w a y a senior teaches a freshm an w h a t it means to be a man fo r others. By the relationships th a t teachers and students form . The drive th a t our coaches and stage directors im p a rt to th e ir students. Its alm ost as if the w alls are alive w ith w h a t m akes Prep so m agical.

These m om ents aren't apparent to som eone passing by. They are the pieces of our history and our com m u nity. These pieces com e to g e th e r to create an incredibly intricate mosaic. W hen you take the tim e to Zoom In to these pieces you can see th a t they are them selves beautiful. These sm all m om ents have helped me reflect on w h a t m akes Prep the special place th a t it is.

"Throughout the years, m y brothers and I have had the privilege to be coached, m entored, and w o rk alongside Coach Rich Hansen. His dedication to Prep and his athletes is inspirational and infectious. Coach Hansen's sacrifices have m eant so m uch to me and my fam ily. Being able to teach and coach at Prep is a small w a y to continue Coach Hansen's legacy of the M arauder trad ition ." -Jose Que, '9 9 (brothers Vincent, '9 3 , Paul, '9 5 , and A dam , '0 5 )


A CLOSER LOOK AT

RICHARD HANSEN The 2 0 2 0 -2 0 2 1 school year has been unlike any other in recent m em ory. W hile C ovid-19 and unrest surrounding social and political issues have dom inated the national headlines, Prep's co m m u n ity also experienced a shift not seen in over 30 years. This cam e w ith the new s th a t Coach Rich Hansen, P '0 3 , '0 9 , w o u ld be retiring from the helm as Head Football Coach and delving deeper into his other role as A th le tic D irector. His decorated legacy w ith Prep Football includes 38 tota l seasons on staff and 33 seasons as head fo o tb a ll coach - 22 w ith 8 or m ore w ins, 5 State Cham pionships, and 23 co u n ty or division titles. He holds the d istinction of Prep's alltim e w in n in g e s t fo o tb a ll coach w ith a career record of 273-77-1 and has placed countless players across every division and league of college football. Students, teachers, and alum ni all revel at Prep's representation on sport netw o rks on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in the fall because of w h a t Coach Hansen has been able to build over the last 33 years. M ore im p o rta n tly than all of this, how ever, is the m entorsh ip coach has provided to the thousands of young men w h o have w a lked the halls of Grand and W arren over his tenure. As 1 9 9 2 graduate and cu rre nt freshm an fo o tb a ll coach M ark DeCastro w ro te , "Coach Hansen has been a life saver fo r me. He ta u g h t me h o w to be a responsible young man. I learned how to channel m y em otion s in order to overcom e any obstacle." M ost iconic m ay be Coach Hansen's stoic expression and ageless physique ("H ow does he STILL look the same?!?" is a very com m o n phrase spoken by returning visitors of all ages). One w o u ld be hard pressed to p in p o in t the corre ct year of pictures fro m new spaper clippings over the last tw o decades as Coach postures w ith arms crossed on the field displaying a neutral facial expression, eyes guarded by dark sunglasses, and tanned, bulging forearm and bicep m uscles rem iniscent of the M arauder statue at the entry to the H um anities Building. All students have experienced Coach Hansen's presence around the school grounds. Father Jim F. Kennan, SJ field, the Perkins A th le tic Center, the gym, w e ig h t room s, baseball fields, courts, tracks, and pools. Prep's fo o tb a ll field w ill look a bit diffe re n t next fall, but one can safely assum e Coach Hansen w ill rem ain the staple im age of Prep A th le tics w e have all g ro w n to know , love and appreciate. W e dedicate this 2 02 1 school yearbook to him and recognize all o f his accom plishm ents and the consistent, cham pionship-standard he has instilled in the Prep athletic program s.


T H I S IS SUMMER T H IN G S HEAT UP

THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD, a 46-year-old Black man in Minneapolis, set o ff a summer of unrest and clashes between protesters and police. A fter a convenience store employee called 911 to say Floyd passed a counterfeit $20 bill, police detained him w ith an officer kneeling on his neck for more than eight minutes as Floyd repeatedly said he couldn't breathe. Floyd died as a result. "SAY THEIR NAMES" became a rallying cry as protesters took to the streets beginning in late May. A series of Black deaths at the hands of police sparked demonstrations across the nation. A BROADER MOVEMENT, Black Lives Matter, and an examination of systematic racism in America emerged from the death of George Floyd. Demonstrators toppled statues of Confederate figures, NASCAR banned any display of the Confederate flag and Asheville (NC) City Council voted in support of com munity reparations for Black Asheville. Brands like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's and sports teams such as the Washington Redskins took steps to change their names. IN THE MIDST OF THE BLM MOVEMENT, Georgia Representative John Lewis died of pancreatic cancer in midJuly. Lewis, the son of sharecroppers, was the last surviving speaker from the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Before his funeral and burial in Atlanta, he was honored in Selma, Alabama, where he grew up.

Driven by piano and guitar, the songs are more mellow than her previous work. Selling tw o million copies in the first week, it set a Guinness World Record for the biggest opening day for an album by a female artist on Spotify. QUEEN BEY M ADE NEW S with the release of "Black is King" on July 31. Beyonce's musical film and visual album got its inspiration from "The Lion King: The Gift," an album she recorded after voicing Nala in Disney's remake. "Black is King" focuses on a young African king who is cast out as a baby and returns to reclaim his throne as an adult.

NATURE

ON

A RAMPAGE

ALTHOUGH THE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON didn't start until June 1. tw o named tropical storms developed in May, brushing the Carolina coasts. The first hurricane of the season, Hanna, hit Padre Island, Texas, July 25, followed by Isaias which hugged the coasts of Florida and Georgia before making landfall in North Carolina. EXTREME HEAT ALONG THE W E ST COAST created a ripe environment for wildfires that spanned from Washington through California and into Arizona. Fires started in Washington in April, continuing through the summer. In Oregon, fires caused Portland to have the worst air quality on earth. California had its largest w ildfire season in history, burning more that four million acres and destroying more than 9 ,0 0 0 structures.

ANYONE H U N G R Y ? M O S T S U M M E R SPORTS were effectively ended by COVID-19. The French Open and Kentucky Derby both moved to September and baseball season was shortened. But Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest, a Fourth of July tradition, endured. Joey Chestnut won for the 13th time, downing 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Miki Sudo captured the women's prize, eating 48.5.

ONE BIG BUG W ILD FIR E S, RECORD HEAT, TORNADOES — then came the murder hornets, making their first appearance in the Pacific Northwest in the spring and spotted elsewhere through the summer. The Asian giant hornet, which can grow to tw o inches, kills up to 50 people in Japan each year and poses a threat to honeybees. Researchers hoped to eradicate them before they become established.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE participated in a march across the Brooklyn Bridge, closing it down, on July 25. The march condemned the use of federal troops to curb protesters in Portland, Oregon. Demonstrations, mostly peaceful, in support of Black Lives M atter and justice for George Floyd and others continued throughout the summer in cities across the country.

SPACEX, A PRIVATE SPACE CO M PANY founded by Elon Musk, launched tw o NASA astronauts into space on its Falcon 9 rocket on May 30. This marked the first time NASA launched its own astronauts in nearly a decade. Since 2011. US astronauts had been sent into space on Russian rockets. While Falcon 9 returned to earth. Crew Dragon carried Bob Behnken and Doug Hurly to the International Space Station where they were scheduled to spend several months.

The 2020- 2021 Student Council was a team that defeated the odds from the very beginning. From the get-go, these men got to work starting all the w ay back in August. Poised and determined they constantly worked their tails off amidst a global pandemic. Led by Student Council President Johnnie Brooker, Vice President 1 , ' * and Moderator Ms. 09383678 Eppler, the full Council was a force to be reckoned w ith. They have accomplished so much on and offcampus. From helping small businesses to building a close-knit community incorporating the entire school, and working to provide our seniors w ith privileges that were stripped away. That is just the beginning. It is noted that representing and being at the forefront of the school encompasses many day-to-day tasks that they have to carry out every single day. Although this was a chaotic year, the Council adopted and embraced the challenge that came their way. Meeting once, every week, w ith a heavy course load plus extracurriculars, our leaders made progressive change and progress in the school. -Johnnie Brooker

The seniors put in extra rehearsals to record an original piece of music composed specifically for them by Chase Bradshaw. The group performed the piece live in the courtyard on Warren to a group of very happy seniors who gathered to celebrate their last day on campus.

JAZZ & C0NCER1 BANDS

As has been the case for most students this year, opportunities to perform and even rehearse together in person were nearly impossible. Still, Prep members of the Concert and Jazz Bands found time to get together on line via Zoom and review music and prepare virtual W inter and Spring Concerts. Students had as much fun as possible and brought some joy to the Prep community through their video performances. It was a particularly hard day of work, but a fun adventure recording the Jazz Band live in the O'Keefe Common one Sunday. The group looks forward to making music again in person next year!

Vox this year had to adapt to a unique setting in the performing arts. From face shields, to masks, to enhanced ventilation, the group made it work! We were able to lead in the singing of all school wide masses, perform in a virtual and in person W inter and Spring Concert, and participate in virtual choirs at St. Peter's University and the JSN Global Colloquium. On top of being the voice of Prep, we were a light in a dim world. Vox is home to many students, faculty, and staff current and past. While we could not be at every event and sing much in person, the voice of Prep never faltered. We just needed to find a new w ay and we did. We wish the best of luck and congratulations to our Vox Senior Members: Nicholas DePinto, Xavier Lusky, Max Rueda, Andrew Smith, Christopher Rudolph, Bobby McCafferty, and Patrick Boll! They w ill truly be missed. - Miss Fencik

WINTER DRAMAS The year 2020-21 w ill be remembered as a year of "firsts" and Prep Dramatics was no exception. An industry for the creation of plays presented virtually arose and, for the W inter Drama, Prep’s actors made their first attempts at this new art form. Three plays were presented, "A Bowl of Soup", "A Mystery Murdered", and "10 Ways To Survive Life In Quarantine" live each night January 8th and 9th of 2021. "A Bowl of Soup" is a series of monologues through which the actor recalls the importance of a specific meal in their lives helping them remember and survive tragic and difficult events w ith bittersweet results. "A Mystery Murdered" is a comedy that found actors caught up in the presentation of a murder mystery that all goes wrong! "10 Ways to Survive Life In Quarantine" offered vignettes of people suggesting activities that would make life in quarantine more tolerable and fun! The W inter Drama was produced and directed by Mr. James Dondero '66, w ith assistance from Ms. Robin Walters. Ms. Sky Friedlander served as the Technical Assistant. One of the highlights of the experience involved an email from the playwright, Kendra Thomas, of "A Bowl of Soup" who attended a performance virtually and commented: "Please w ill you let your theatre teacher know w hat a wonderful job the students did on the show! I especially enjoyed how each of them had their own unique take on their monologue. I believed their characters, and they were so fun to watch."

SPRING MUSICAL The Edge of Creativity:

Mr. Adam Bouley, Director When Ms. Fencik and I started planning for this year's spring musical, we wanted to make sure that w hat we experienced last year, when our production of Into the Woods was cancelled after its first performance, did not happen again. So, this year we decided to produce a remote musical production, meaning a production that was completely done over Zoom at the cast members' homes. Rehearsals, learning music, choreography, audio recording, filming, etc. would happen completely in a tiny virtual box miles away from one another. However, producing a fully remote musical, something neither of us had any experience doing, did not leave us w ith many show options. After considering the limited list of choices, we chose Edges because we found the music catchy and thought the concept of a song cycle would be the easiest first remote show to produce. But over time, I found its themes completely in sync w ith our current Covid, lockdown, virtual, new normal. At its core. Edges is about the uneasiness and fear we face anytime we encounter a transition or a major decision. Whether we are debating finally saying 'I love you' to a partner, pursuing a dream, dealing w ith a loss, or contemplating leaving, the fear of the repercussions our decisions create and the unknown that w ill be unveiled, oftentimes pin us in place. To make a move is far scarier than to just maintain the status quo. The fear of what's still unknown about Covid-19 has forced many of us and our institutions to resort to the safest option, to continue our lives virtually. But these virtual settings are exhausting to maintain and leave us feeling disconnected from the social world. The same is true of the characters in Edges, who long to make meaningful connections, but can't seem to get past the "mask" of expectations that allow them to do that. Edges, although written in a time when Facebook was the only social media giant, provides us w ith a timely lesson: to take solace in the beauty of the things we often take for granted, like breathing.

SEASONS IN LIMBO

M A N Y SPORTS STOPPED M ARCH 12 and by early July, it looked like there would be no college football when the Ivy League ruled out playing all fall sports. Other conferences soon followed suit. But then, more and more schools reversed course, beginning limited seasons and playing to empty or limitedcapacity stadiums. Seasons continued to be plagued by players testing positive, forcing games to be rescheduled or canceled. IN AN EFFORT TO RESUM E the NBA season, the league invited the top 22 teams at the time of suspended play on March 11 to the ESPN Sports Complex at W alt Disney World in Orlando. The league created a protective bubble, severely limiting the players' exposure to anything or anyone outside the bubble. Teams arrived July 7 w ith play resuming July 30. Eight regular games determined which 16 teams progressed to post-season playoffs. In the end. the Los Angeles Lakers triumphed over the Miami Heat in the best of seven series, winning it all on Oct. 11. LeBron James won his fourth MVP. the only player to win MVP honors w ith three different teams.

ALTHOUGH THE FIRST U.S. CASE of COVID-19 was diagnosed in January, the country didn't begin shutting down until March when the W orld Health Organization declared the virus a pandemic. Sports halted, schools and all nonessential businesses closed as states began crafting plans for stay-at-home orders to curb the spread. ESPECIALLY SUSEPTIBLE TO CORONAVIRUS, the elderly and those w ith health issues stayed isolated for months. Friends and relatives were forced to visit them from outside their windows. COVID patients in hospitals died alone, unable to have contact w ith their loved ones. STATES SET UP TESTING CENTERS where people waited for hours as lines of cars stretched for miles. The respiratory disease spread through droplets in the air w ith symptoms including fever, cough and sore throat. A fter taking the nasal swab test, people sometimes waited for weeks for results and labs were overwhelmed.

SUMMER HEATS UP EXPERTS W A R N E D about crowds during summer holidays, but high temperatures drove people to beaches. After the Fourth of July, cases spiked and the U.S. death toll hit 50.00 0 . Though the U.S. had only four percent of the world population, it had more than 20 percent of COVID cases, prompting Europe to ban travelers from the U.S. beginning in July. Some states imposed their own travel restrictions, requiring quarantines.

CO V I D - 1 9 PANDEMIC .. HM TH E FIR S T EIGH T M O N T H S

MEDICAL PERSONNEL became heroes, working long hours as their hospitals exceeded capacity. Large cities like New York resorted to tem porary field hospitals to handle the overload. Though the numbers subsided in the summer, by the end of October, 23 0,00 0 had died in the U.S. At least 31 states set their one-day infection records in October, reporting a new case every 1.3 seconds during the last week of the month. THROUGHOUT MAY and early June, most states began a gradual, phased reopening after cases peaked in April. First came more essential services, then salons reopened. Restaurants reopened w ith limited capacity, and bars and gyms followed later. M ost cities and states stressed social distancing, wearing masks and washing hands as preventatives, but local requirements varied widely.

NOT SO NORMAL

RACE FOR A VA C C IN E DUBBED OPERATION W A R P SPEED, the race for a vaccine involved nearly 3 0 companies. By late summer, several potential vaccines had entered preliminary trials, but three major companies stopped their trials in early October due to adverse reactions in volunteers. W ithin the month, all were back on track. Although President Trump had talked of having a vaccine by November, medical experts predicted it would be at least early 2021 before one passed all the FDA trials, and it would take months before it became widely available to the general population.

M O S T SCHOO L YEARS ended in March 2020, and controversy swirled about whether schools should reopen in the fall. Plans varied from state to state, ranging from inperson instruction to virtual learning to a blend of both. Teachers tailored methods to accommodate, presenting to empty classrooms in many cases. Students who attended in person wore masks in socially distanced classrooms and endured quarantines as classmates tested positive for the virus.

FASHION SHOW MASKS ARE IN

Creativity is key when solving any type of problem. The annual fashion show has become a staple for the Advancement Department at Prep and COVID was not about to put a halt to such a well attended and fun event. As the models showed off the latest fashion trends, including masks and thermometers, safety and fashion became synonymous. The gentlemen looked handsome and the young women glowed as they took to the runway in what w ill surely be a fashion show to remember. Through the work of Ms. Dalma Santana and a trove of parent volunteers, the event was one of the most memorable ones in Prep history. The event proves that Prep w ill continue to create connections for a lifetime.

TA K IN G THE TITLE THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS won their first World Series in 32 years on Oct. 20, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 8-3 in Game 6. The 60-game regular season was the shortest in history due to the pandemic, but it led to the longest post-season on record w ith 16 teams competing. LA shortstop Corey Seager was named World Series MVP. Game 6 set a record for the most strikeouts, and the Dodgers used seven pitchers —the most ever used by a winning team in a nine-inning clincher.

IN THE MUSIC WORLD, singer/songwriter Eric Church was named A rtist of the Year at the Country Music Awards, and the American Music Awards bestowed the same honor on Taylor Swift. When the Grammy nominations were announced, Beyonc6 set a record w ith nine, w hile Swift, Roddy Ricch and Dua Lipa garnered six nominations each. “JEOPARDY!" HOST ALEX TREBEK, who announced his diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer in March 2019, died Nov. 8 at the age of 80. He taped his final appearance as host on Oct. 29. Trebek hosted the TV show for 37 seasons. Ken Jennings, the highest money winner in game show history, served as the first of several interim hosts while the network sought a new permanent host. October also marked the deaths of rocker Eddie Van Halen and Scottish actor Sean Connery, the original James Bond.

NATURAL DISASTERS CO NTINUED to make news through the fall. California was plagued by wildfires since early spring. The Glass Fire burned through Napa and Sonoma counties, destroying 67,484 acres, including a number of vineyards, and forcing the evacuation of at least 6 8 ,0 0 0 residents before the blaze was fully contained on Oct. 20. The coast of Louisiana took yet another hit as Hurricane Zeta made landfall as a Category 2 late in October. The 2 0 2 0 hurricane season saw a record-breaking 3 0 named storms, including six major hurricanes. An average season had 12 named storms and three major hurricanes. Twelve of the storms in 2 0 2 0 made landfall in the continental United States. The season marked only the second time in history that the Greek alphabet had to be used to name storms.

NO FANS LOOKED ON as Dustin Johnson won the Masters golf tournament w ith the lowest score in the history of the tournament. Pandemic concerns created a one-of-a-kind Masters: No spectators, no ropes and only one guest for each player. Johnson finished 20-under at 268 w ith only four bogeys in 72 holes, another record. Tiger Woods, the defending champion, helped him put on his green jacket. THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME welcomed a new group of inductees on Nov. 7. Honorees included The Doobie Brothers (pictured), Depeche Mode, W hitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G. and T. Rex.

GOVID CONTINUES

IIM LATE SEPTEMBER, the COVID-19 Memorial Project installed 2 0 ,0 0 0 small flags on the National Mall to commemorate those who had died from the pandemic. At that point, predictions of 2 4 0 ,0 0 0 future deaths seemed impossible. But on Feb. 22, the U.S. surpassed 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 deaths. President Biden and wife Jill, along with other officials, marked the grim milestone with a candle-lighting ceremony and a moment of silence. Biden also ordered flags at federal buildings flown at half-staff for five days.

A BLOW TO TOURISM

CO VID-19 IM PACTED tourism in multiple ways. Broadway went dark in March 2020. In September, the closures were extended until 2021, then later pushed to May 30. The eight Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C. also closed in March. The museums reopened in July and closed again just before Thanksgiving. Both Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California shut down in March. Disney laid off 2 8 ,0 0 0 workers in September and another 3 2 ,0 0 0 in November. Although Disney World reopened to limited numbers in July, Disneyland remained closed a year later.

TO KEEP UP W ITH the demand for vaccines, states created super sites, opening sports arenas and convention centers to handle the load. Communities created drive-thru vaccination sites like this one in Arizona. By early March, more than 16 percent of the U.S. population had received one dose and more than 8 percent had been fully vaccinated. Demand for the vaccine continued to outnumber available doses, creating frustration for those trying to schedule appointments.

AS EARLY AS APRIL 2020, the CDC recommended face masks to curb the spread of COVID-19. Each state issued its own requirements, and as many as 35 states mandated masks at some point. A fter peaking in January 2021, the pandemic began to ebb w ith the introduction of vaccines. Masks were still required in 30 states at the end of February. THE FDA GRANTED emergency use authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer vaccine on Dec. 11. Just three days later, the first U.S. vaccine was administered. One week later, Moderna received EUA, and their first vaccine given Dec. 22. Both early vaccines required tw o doses several weeks apart for highest efficacy. Health care and frontline workers, and people older than 75 received vaccine priority. A third vaccine, by Johnson & Johnson, which required only one dose and less extreme storage temperatures, was approved Feb. 27.

HOLIDAYS

BRINGING A LITTLE LEVITY to the time of COVID. the citizens of New Orleans created "Yardi Gras' as a way to maintain the spirit of Mardi Gras. Parades and more were cancelled, so many families decorated their homes, some w ith the help of professional float artists w ho were tem porarily out of w ork because of the pandemic. According to the mayor — because it's a religious holiday — "Mardi Gras was not cancelled, just different."

EXPERTS W A RNED against gatherings during the holidays to avoid a spike in COVID cases. Shopping mall Santas greeted children from behind face shields and plexiglass. Families shared holiday meals via Zoom. Despite the warnings and precautions, January became the deadliest month in the U.S. for the pandemic. Total deaths surpassed soldier fatalities in WWII. In addition, variants of the virus were identified in three states on Jan. 4. By the one-year anniversary of the first U.S. case on Jan. 20, more 4 0 0 ,0 0 0 Americans had died from the virus.

FROM ATHLETES TO SPECTATORS, the pandemic continued to affect sports. Some high schools moved their football seasons to spring. Major sporting events like college bowl games and Super Bowl LV were played w ith limited fans. The World Series, held at the 40,300-seat capacity Globe Life Park, allowed only 10,550 fans and filled many of the lower empty seats w ith cardboard cutouts.

OR O U T ? IN JANUARY 2 0 2 1, the CDC said it was safe for schools to open but controversy continued. Educational plans varied from school to school, district to district and state to state. Plans ranged from in-person instruction — with masks, social distancing and barriers — to remote learning from home, or a hybrid combination of both. Some schools offered both in-person and virtual options and let students and parents decide, while others offered alternate-day plans. Experts, teachers and parents agreed in-person instruction benefitted students the most. By late winter, there were discussions about offering summer classes in some areas.

In a year of lim ited fan attendance, pared postseasons, and C ovid-19 protocols. Prep athletics contin ued th e ir usual dom inance. The M arauders w o rke d hard th ro u g h quarantine and cam e ready to com pete. Together, Prep's student-athletes w o re m aroon and silver w ith pride across 19 diffe re n t sports.


FOOTBALL

The reigning state cham pions posted a dom inant season as usual, with many

widely-anticipated matchups and rivalry games. More than ever, Marauder football depended on its stalwart defensive unit, led by seasoned upperclassmen, to keep teams at bay. Quarterback Tajh Bullock threw for alm ost 9 00 yards and 53 completions, and had plenty of options on both the rushing side and receiving end.

The 2020 season also marked the end of an era, as legendary Coach Rich Hansen announced his retirement after over three decades in charge of the program. Despite the absence of any playoffs this year, his final squad was characteristically energetic and dynamic, and continued Prep Football's strong tradition of hard work.

36


They crushed other strong non-public programs including rival Don Bosco, St. Joseph (Mont.), and Paramus Catholic. Although a two week virus related shutdown brought the team to a halt about a month into the season, they rallied in two close losses to finish the year 4-2.



SOCCER

Marauder soccer w as one of the first team s to get back into action after a nearly 6 month pandemic-induced pause from all official Prep sports. They were no disappointm ent posting a strong winning season (10-6) with a 3rd place finish in Hudson County (7-3). Their talent spanned all grades but they were notably led by a strong class of seniors, including leading scorer Anthony W arm uz, Johannes Dirx, Jair Arriaga, Iker Taboas, and John Galasso. Sophomore Jon Dereka and freshm an Andy Mayorga also had an immediate impact, and ju n ior goalies Connor Bankuti and Tommy Burton combined for 49 saves.

Their energetic style of play carried into the postseason, where they beat Newark Academy and St. Joseph (Met) before coming up short in the group final. Despite the unpredictable nature of their 2020 season, Prep soccer stayed strong and reminded fans why they're still a top program in the state.


CREW

Saint Peter's Prep Crew had a strong return following the cancellation of the Spring season. With an entirely brand new coaching staff, coaches and rowers alike were eager to get to work. Despite many cancellations of Fall season races,

the team w as still able to scrim m age against competitive local programs finishing favorably am ongst the field.

The crew has made great progressions in leadership, setting the foundation for the future of the team while also building towards future success, as they enter their muchanticipated Spring season.




CROSS COUNTRY Despite the uncertainties going into the 2 0 2 0 season the team managed to overcome all of the challenges and had one of the best seasons in school history. The team started off strong by breaking the school course record in the first meet of the season with a time of 15:48. Led by senior Rodolfo Sanchez they were able to hold on to the Hudson County title for the fourth consecutive year. They went on to take home the Non-Public North A Sectional Title for the first time in school history.

Unable to have spectators at the meets their hard work and determination paid off as the team finished the season with a rank of 15th in the state. Even with all of the hardships due to the pandemic the team will go down as one of the best cross country teams in Prep history.



BASKETBALL

Eager to avenge last season's double OT loss in the state sectional final game, Prep Basketball came back in full force this year and posted a near undefeated season. The reigning Hudson County cham ps w ent 10-1 and were a com m anding force from start to finish. Their average win margin w as over 27 points thanks to balanced team w ork and a deep roster. The Marauders were led by their tough guard play, which provided scoring as well as ball movement, averaging 11 assists.

The team w as limited to ju st 11 games because of the shortened pandemic season, but still had many memorable moments. They knocked off #7 ranked Montclair Immaculate in overtime and logged a dom inant win over Shore conference powerhouse Marlboro, all on their way to finishing #5 in New Jersey.

FENCING

In a year filled with uncertainty, the Prep Fencing

Team took to the strip with vigor and confidence. Since 2017, the Marauders have appeared in every playoff round while advancing to three championship meets. While Covid-19 created a void of championships this season, Prep showed up and gave it a titlewinning effort. Relying on Senior epee and saber fencers and the dominating foil squad, who won 30 out of 36 bouts, the Marauders concluded the season with a record of 3 and 1.

This season also marked the end of seniors and four-year team veterans Pius Mwemba, Ethan Eig, Alec Martinez, Davik Persaud, Alexander Sciarra and Nathaniel Jablonski's Prep fencing careers.



48


BOWLING Although the team experienced a shortened practice and match schedule the team went undefeated during the regular season. They placed first in the Hudson County Interscholastic Athlethic League South Division. On February 5th Junior Blaise Edwards achieved his first 300 game, the fourth perfect game in school history.

49


WRESTLING Marauder wrestling put up a near undefeated

record this year at 7-1, with all of their wins conning by 10 points or more. After a delayed start to the season, expectations were high for the squad, and they delivered across the board. The team had extensive conditioning and practices in preparation for their mid-March start. They were fueled by five returning state qualifiers who were hungry for more. Highlights included dominant wins over all Hudson county competition as well as victories over tough programs like Pope John XXIII Regional High School.

Experience was centered in the lower weight classes, which gave the younger guys the chance to emerge as contenders in the higher weight classes. Prep wrestling sent two wrestlers to the state championships with senior Sean Rendeiro placing fourth.

SWIMMING

The St. Peter's Prep sw im season came to a close on March 27, 2021, and it w as a season to remember. Records were broken, tough opponents were beaten and although the season was shortened brotherhoods were formed. Seniors Timmy Jimenez and Henry Brown, Juniors Kevin W hitworth and Sophomore David Slowinski set not one, but tw o school records in the relays. The group sw am a 1:26.88 in the 2 00 free relay and a 3:11.75 in the 4 0 0 free relay. Kevin W hitworth set an individual school record for the 100 freestyle, with an astounding time of 46.50.

The freshmen brought tons of new talent to the table and the upperclassmen once again showed their quality and proved they were more than worthy of swimming for the team.


ICE HOCKEY

The loss of many key seniors and a modified pandemic schedule presented a challenge for Prep puck, but they were able to stick through it and have a strong team

building year. Despite the usual strength of their Gordon Conference Schedule, they managed to knock oft top tier times, including an impressive 4-2 upset over No. 13 St. Joseph's (Mont.). The group w as led ny experience seniors but also had a number of sophomores and juniors who brought energy, especially in the attacking zone. They were also constantly on the road - playing twice as many away games as home games, but still fought every match to the last minute.

TENNIS

This year's tennis team took a great return from their last season in 2019. With only tw o starting players returning in Captains Anthony Chrysikos and Anthony Mouridy, it w as anyone's game. While there were some injuries and changes in the line up at the beginning, our tw o doubles team s really went for it. The freshmen duo Jack Brossaeu and Jeremy Kamber and the Junior/Senior combo of Gerald Delacruz and Emmett Wilson really racked up the majority of w ins for the team.

The singles players led by Captain Anthony Chrysikos took some turns at the beginning, but Andrew Li and Vipul Kothakonda stepped it up complete the top seven for this year. The team went undefeated in the county regular season and are looking for a repeat win for the county title.


AFTER THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9, in Super Bowl LV on Feb. 7 General Manager Jason Licht handed the Lombardi Trophy to winning quarterback Tom Brady. In his seventh Super Bowl win, Brady was named the game's MVP. The game also marked the first tim e a woman, Sarah Thomas, officiated a Super Bowl game.

CAMPUS MINISTRY TEAM: Seniors, what has the campus ministry team help you discover about yourself? What about the world around you? MATTHEW PAGE: This year Campus Ministry and the retreats I participated in during my four years at Prep have taught me to appreciate the good fortunes, because some people are not able to have those good experiences. RYAN KARBOWNICZAK: CMT has helped me discover and expand upon my own capacities for serving my community and communities around me. It has helped me better understand the struggles of said communities and the importance of serving them. Owen Fletcher

ANDREW SMITH: Organizations like the CMT have shown me that service is made possible through teamwork and commitment. What we have been able to accomplish this year has been a light in a very dark time. It has taught me that, regardless of our own situation, there is always a place and a time to lend a helping hand. OWEN FLETCHER: CMT has taught me that we are all more interconnected than we realize. No one is so foreign or different that they don't share our common humanity. NATHANIEL JABLONSKI: Campus Ministry has been an important part of my Prep career. It's allowed me to continue to growing in my faith by actively participating in events that have a direct impact on the community. Additionally, the Jesuit teachings combined with service have opened my eyes to the struggles of others while introducing ways to proactively make their lives better.

PRAYER, SERVICE & SOCIAL JUSTICE Hallmarks of a Jesuit Education During the pandemic, gathering as a school community and taking part in service activities became a challenge. The community gathering that was traditional at Prep also joined the virtual world. The members of the Campus Ministry Department as well as the young men who compose the Campus Ministry Team took to creative ways to ensure that the spiritual needs of students were met. Prayer services turned virtual, service took place 6 ft. apart, and some of our partner organizations opened up for on-site service. The prayers and blessings that took place in a "normal" school year continued. A pandemic would not stop the amazing ways that the CMT animate the mission and identify of Saint Peter's Prep.

Mrs. Terry LaBruno was a beloved member of the Prep community. Her energy, passion for math, and larger than life personality were everywhere around Prep's halls and sports arenas. Mrs. LaBruno had one of the biggest hearts and deepest capacities for love that Prep has ever known. We remember her life for all the unspoken ways she showed her love to us. She was the epitome of a woman for others. Always willing to give everything to a student in need or stay hours after the end of a school day to make sure that her students got that day's topic. Her love of athletics would inspire those around her to cheer harder and be that extra player on the field. She radiated love and acceptance. We dedicate the Faculty & Staff Section of this yearbook to her. We pray that the women and men of Prep embody the spirit of Mrs. LaBruno. "Lord, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference."

can remember back to my in te rvie w at Prep; I w a s lucky enough to have the opportunity to sit dow n w ith Janet Angerm eyer fo r lunch. >omething th a t w ill alw ays stick w ith me is ho w w elcom ed she made me feel even after only m eeting me about five m inutes before lunch. Since hat day, there have been so m any w onderful conversations in the fa c u lty room, during departm ent m eetings, or ju st an average day in a lassroom or hallw ay. W hen I th in k about all the w ond e rfu l gifts Janet has given Prep, I often th in k about the consistent care she brought to her itudents on a daily basis. Her handouts w ere second to none! She w anted to give her students every opportunity to understand the concepts she vas teaching, and w hen Schoology and Canvas arrived on the scene, she made sure to provide her students w ith resources on those platform s, iach and every year, she consistently w orked w ith colleagues to ensure she w a s reaching her students in the best possible w ays. W hen I lecame departm ent chair, I quickly realized th a t Janet w a s one of the m ost dependable people I w o u ld have the pleasure to w o rk w ith . She :onsistently found a w a y to finish grade review s w e ll ahead of deadlines, som ething th a t I w ill never take fo r granted! Janet's retirem ent is littersw eet fo r me because I am so happy th a t she w ill be able to enjoy this next chapter of her life, but I know I w ill miss her kind and caring lature w ith students and colleagues alike, her GREAT stories, and m ost of all her friendship. - Mr. Christopher Caulfield,'03, English Department Chairperson

Cecelia Collins has been a fixture as students entered and exited Prep each day for decades. If you ever came in late, ducked out early, desperately tried to navigate some disciplinary rule without digging yourself a deeper grave, or you were just out to enjoy one of Preps numerous sporting events, you could not have done so without interacting with Ms. Collins. Cecelia has been a source of information, friend, and confidant to thousands of students as they passed through these halls. In the years since being a student Cecelia has been a fantastic colleague and friend. She is always the first face I see in the building each morning and the first person to greet me by name at a prep social gathering. Undoubtedly that personal greeting is an experience so many have had that reminds them they still belong to the Prep family. You will always be part of our Prep family Cecelia, all our best in the next adventure!

Mrs. Janice Martineau comes from a dedicated Prep family. Although she was a graduate of Saint Michael's High School in Union City, her brothers graduated from Prep and she has devoted much of her life to supporting Prep in so many ways. Including her father, Mr. John Irvine Sr., Janice has been present at countless, sporting events, social events, and has been serving the students of Saint Peter's for more that 25 years. Many, if not all, Prep students come to know her and work with her through their college search. Her tireless dedication to Prep's students never waivers. Her presence within the guidance suite will be missed. She has truly been a "Woman For Others" and has made Prep her home. We all wish you nothing but the best in your retirement, Mrs. Martineau! Thank you for all you've done for countless generations of Prep men. -Mr. Jim Dondero,'66,P'01

Thank you for your hard work, dedication and tenacity to come into school every single day during a global pandemic. It was very bold and audacious but that displayed your love and passion for this school. I am forever grateful for the life lessons that I have learned here. One thing that I picked up on this journey of life is that we are all teachers in our own right. Personally, even though I came to Prep as a student to learn, one thing I hope you all obtained from me was to always be great ON PURPOSE! -Johnnie Brooker, Student Class President ’21

Pandemic or not, I can confidently say that I would not be who I am today without my Prep experience. I know that is true for every one of you here. Prep...has formed us into the men seated before our families right now. Each and every one of us has found a place and a purpose at Grand & Warren, amongst a brotherhood unlike any other. Passion, service, and community seep through the foundation of this school. There is no place like it. This is our home. -A n d r e w Sm ith, '21 S tudent Speaker f o r th e Class o f 2021

C ongratulations S Farewell

S E N IO R M A R A U D E R S

Pride & Glory: Then, now, always...The "always" is what it has always been about. The Prep experience does not just help define the person you are, but it motivates you to constantly refine the person you will be for the rest of your life. And I hope as you continue this lifelong refinement...that you make a great discovery: that holy boldness and sacred madness that stirs your soul to love and dream...that creates an unstoppable dream inside of you. —Dr. M icha el A. Gomez, Ed.D., '91 P resid en t

New Jersey’s Jesuit High School Since 1872





Working in admissions and financial aid, I am in a unique position where I get to work with both parents and students. I remember the beginning of your journey. I had the pleasure of meeting you and your parents and you allowed me the privilege of walking with you, of hearing your stories. Just listening to how you came to be at Prep, your struggles and victories, your trust and care for me, and for Prep has left me grateful and inspired. — Mr. F red Galano, P ’2 2 M em ber o fth e R eligion D epartm ent, D irector o fF in a n cia l Aid, F aculty Speaker f o r th e Class o f 2021

Baccalaureate Mass Closing Reflection May 16, 2021

But none of that happens unless you are open to growth, like Peter with a great desire to not just learn but to learn more, a desire to not just live a faith-filled life, but a desire to have a soul-filled life with boundless faith, a desire to not just be strong in mind and heart and body, but a desire to have the confidence to be someone's rock. And of course, humble enough to ask questions like, "Can you help me?" "Will you walk the road with me?" and "Can you forgive me?"...You are becoming a man, a good man, and in a few days a Prep grad, who can and must change the world. I expect nothing less from you. Love you. Let's go Prep.

Congratulations, Prep. The historic 2020-2021 school year was a successful one. Thank you to everyone in the Prep com munity who made it possible - especially our Operations Staff. We are so thankful for you! AMDG.
